Finally finished these!!! Here's a little about what's here, first the red Little T is one I got in a trade 4-5 years ago, and restored. The other two are newly finished "special" clones! By special, I mean just that. The green car is my interpretation of a 1/24 scale Big Rod, It uses an original 1964 oval tank, and mounting plate from an original Little T kit. (for those that may not know, the original T kit came with three building options. A shortened pickup box, the oval tank, and a turtle deck.) My goal was to build a complete a set of T's with all the options. Back to the green car...I picked up two of the recently reissued Ford T Street Rod kits which were the bases for these builds, starting with a kit, I used all the chassis &body parts, plus the engine block, and heads. Adding to it I added a six carb intake, carbs, magneto, and the scull head shifter from the Monogram '30 woody kit. I also used the front brake backing plates, wheels, tires, and seats from the new Blue Bandito kit. The headers were scratch built to resemble the Big Rod headers. As with this car, the aqua car uses another T kit, front brake backing plates from the rear of a Monogram '32 roadster (modified) wheels & tires from a Monogram Lil Coffin (again modified) Rear tires are Lil Coffin with white wall inserts painted black, then the lettering was carefully sanded. The seats from another Blue Bandito, and the turtle deck, along with an original set of Little T headers & mufflers are more original parts. I kept everything all 1/24 scale Monogram parts throughout the builds! Now you know!!! Enjoy.

Awesome!! They all look great. I like that blue one, too. It looks great with the black top and interior. Is the turtle deck the Monogram part or an AMT? Looks great, whichever, but if it's AMT, it would good to know that that part works so well on the Monogram T.

Actually, what are the tires and wheels from on the blue one? I'm wondering in the slicks are some of the tampo printed newer AMT ones. And the front wheels don't look like Lil Coffin parts.

Man those are some clean builds! I am partial to the Blue one as it just looks like something I would love to have sitting in my Garage (also I like blue)! They paint jobs on those cars are outstanding just so smooth, that is some model building skills right there!
